The Institute’s genesis was sparked during a transformative learning journey at Schumacher College in the UK. Schumacher’s ecological curriculum is rooted in holistic science, engaged ecology, and regenerative practices.

The Institute of Relational Being forms one star in a growing constellation of Schumacher alumni legacy projects worldwide, including Escola Schumacher Brasil, Siendo Naturaleza, and Schumacher Sprouts Belgium.

IRB offers platforms, frameworks, and experiences that empower us to cultivate more enlivened relationships with the rest of this living world. IRB welcomes you to join us in exploratory practices of attention, reverence, and kinship with the multilayered ecological communities we inhabit.
